Answer: he had 50 marbles at first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of marbles that he had at first.

He gave 2/5 of his marble to his neighbour. It means that the number of marbles that he gave to his neighbour is 2/5 × x = 2x/5

The number of marbles that he has remaining is

x - 2x/5 = 3x/5

He gave 1/6 of the remainder to his friend Ali. It means that the number of marbles that he gave to his friend is

1/6 × 3x/5 = x/10

The number of marbles that he has left is

3x/5 - x/10 = 5x/10

He had 25 marbles left. It means that

5x/10 = 25

5x = 25 × 10 = 250

x = 250/5 = 50

The population of the US at the first census in 1790 was 3,929 people. By 2000 the population had increased to 284,000,000! What
OleMash [197]

Answer:

7,228,202%

Step-by-step explanation:

Population at first census in 1979 was 3929

If the Population had increased to 284,000,000 by 2000, the population increase will be;

284,000,000-3929

= 283,996,071

%increase in population = increment/initial population×100%

= 283,996,071/3929×100%

= 7,228,202%

This means that the population has increased by 7,228,202%

How do you Subtract 9x^2 + 22x - 46 from 12x^2 - 8x + 12.
Luba_88 [7]

Subtract the x^2 terms from each other, then the x terms, then the ones without any x whatsoever.

(12x^2 - 8x + 12) - (9x^2 +22x-46)

First, we'll subtract 9x^2 from 12x^2

12x^2-9x^2- = 3x^2

Result: 3x^2

Next, we'll subtract 22x from -8x

-8x - 22x = -30x

Result: -30x

Finally, we'll subtract -46 from 12

12-(-46) = 12+46 = 58

Result: 58

Now, we can add these 3 results together.

First, we had 3x^2, then -30x, and finally 58.

Thus, our subtraction of

(12x^2 - 8x + 12) - (9x^2 +22x-46)

equals

3x^2-30x+58

The number 321.8 is 34% of x. What is the value of x rounded to the nearest whole number?
Anni [7]

Answer:

946

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make an equation :

34% of x = 321.8

Covert 34% into decimal by dividing by 100 :

34 ÷ 100 = 0.34

Rewrite equation with decimal form :

0.34x = 321.8

Divide both sides by x to make x the subject :

x = 321.8 ÷0.34

x = 946.470588235

To the nearest whole number will be 946 as 4 rounds it down

So our final answer will be 946

Hope this helped and have a good day

Help please it’s homework
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

10. 1/9

11. 1 1/6

12. 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

10.

He spent 2/3 of 1/6 of the day.

In math, "of" means multiplication, so 2/3 of 1/6 means 2/3 * 1/6.

2/3 * 1/6 = 2/18 = 1/9

He spent 1/9 of the day adding mulch.

11.

He spent 2/3 of 1 3/4 hours.

In math, "of" means multiplication, so 2/3 of 1 3/4 means 2/3 * 1 3/4.

2/3 * 1 3/4 = 2/3 * 7/4 = 14/12 = 7/6 = 1 1/6

He spent 1 1/6 hours working on the project.

12.

She planted 1/6 of 3/4 of the area.

In math, "of" means multiplication, so 1/6 of 3/4 means 1/6 * 3/4.

1/6 * 3/4 = 3/24 = 1/8

She planted carrots in 1/8 of the garden.
